Q: 19 and pregnant with twins
asked by: kvlv89 on September 20th, 2008

I am 19 years old and found out I am having Twins. I was shocked and scared but then I talked to my mom and she said it was a gift from God. I have learned to accept this and cant wait to see my babies. Its a girl and a boy. My father is still not very accepting of this and thinks I should of gotten rid of it. I am 22 weeks now but a week ago ended up in preterm labor and almost lost my babies. I had to get a cerclage done (cervical stitching). Now I am on bed rest. This is my first pregnancy and it has been really hard.

Aww.. Congrats!! I am pregnant with my first and I am 26 it was unplanned, I think I would be scared to death if I was pregnant with twins, but its definitly a blessing!! That is good to hear your mom is accepting of it, maybe your father will come around in the months to come. I wish you a healthy pregnancy!

Alright she hasnt said she doesnt want the babys so why even bring up adoption. obviously she wants them if she hasnt said otherwise. It was her father that didnt want her to keep them. This is an ignorant statement to just tell everyone to put there kids up for adoption. Im 18 and pregnant and Im not putting my son up for adoption. If you have support and everything to help support you and your child then its still being a parent. I think that you should consider other people rather than just saying that we should all put are kids up for adoption. If you can provide for your child and love it and care for it thats being a true parent. So maybe you should consider that too christa. and congrats on the twins hun. im sorry about the rant on your post. I hope the rest of your pregnancy goes well

Do you think that most young teens can give their children the same quality of life that two loving adult parents can? Most pregnant teens do not have the support system that you have.

Adoption may not be the best answer for you because of the support you have from your family along with the fact that you are an adult. However, A 13 year old pregnant child with no support cannot give the child the same quality of life that two loving, adult adoptive parents can. Adoption would be better for the child in cases like that.

I agree with that. but shes saying that she has support for her mother. therefore with that support system in place even if its just her mother.
I like how you put young teen with loving adult. a young teen can love and care for a child too, sure it may be tougher but if there is support is what Im saying then she shouldnt feel like she has to give her child up when she has the support. Obviously if she was like im out on the street and my parents arent helping me i would agree with adoption but in the case where you have support even if it is only from one person its still help. If she didnt have her mother on her side i would agree with you.

19 with twins? What a lot of responsibility at such a young age. Have you considered adoption. It is a very responsible decision and contrary to what some people believe, unwed parents who place their children for adoption are not taking “the easy way out” or abandoning their responsibility. Instead, they are placing the needs of their children before their own feelings and desires—the essence of true parenthood. Such a decision is deserving of the highest commendation and respect.
I encourage you to do what is in the best interest of the babies.


Im sorry but exactly where in that post does she mention not wanting her babies??!! What exactly do you know about this girl and her "situation"?? And how do you know that giving up her babies is the best option for them?? I dont think YOU know the answer to ANY of the above questions do you.

This is a forum for teenage parents where we try our best to SUPPORT them and help them in whatever THEY decide to do! I think that your little comment is suggesting that she is not responsible, has no respect for her babies!

Just so i am VERY clear this was not meant as an offensive post nor am i intending to upset anyone however i have a very strong view that we should be supportive at this time instead of making people feel inadequate.


I totally agree with you on that. this place gets stressful when theres people out there that are totally against teen moms. we get enough of it everywhere else. support is good.
